I'm still irritated by the Mora for Bordick deal.

by Mr. Met on Jun 6, 2006 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions

that sucked

but at least the team was trying to make the WS. I think it was an overreaction to game against Boston where Bentiez imploded with the help of a Mora SS error. Melvin would also be a fine 2b option.

but not because of the player Mora went on to become. It's not really fair to fault the Mets for that, since nobody -- not even the team that traded for him -- expected his transformation into an explosive hitter. It was still a bad deal, though.

by anonymous on Jun 6, 2006 10:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Nice

Seriously, though. The Kazmir trade was terrible, but it's very premature to compare it to epically bad trades of baseball past. He's a kid with a world of talent and he has plenty of time to develop into a star, but he hasn't done anything yet. Regardless of what he does it should be considered a bungled deal from the Mets' perspective, but it's nowhere near being mentioned in the same breath as the Ryan, Pedro, or Smoltz deals, let alone dozens of other deals that are still worse to this point.

by Eric Simon on Jun 6, 2006 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions

Smoltz I don't consider

a bad trade. The Tigers sold their soul to win a WS. I can't blame them, teams don't get that shot often. Alexander was 9-0 for them down when it counted.

having issues with? He rolled the crap out of it at the very least.

What makes this scarier

Is it looks like he didn't roll it. So that makes the possiblity of a worse injury greater.

Instant "analysis" on ESPN was that it

looked like Achilles tendon, which would mean out for the year, I guess, if true. Of course they're in no position to know anything.

He's already had Achillies

issues before. We'll see. Milo ain't going anywhere anytime soon. If they have DL him and Diaz comes up and rakes? Then what do you do?

Achilles is

in the back of the ankle and usually gets injured from pushing off of your foot or bad impact landing from a jump of some sort. That is not to say that it is not an achilles just not likely from the replay, but there are many other ligaments in the ankle that could be hurt.

is if Milledge has a career game there, 6 for 6 or something, then it gets hard for management.

because you know the minute Reyes had a bad game every genius with a telephone would be calling the Fat Bastard and the Dumb Dog demanding that Milo be placed in the leadoff spot.

This goes back to the whole

is he a good #2 hitter or not thing. He has had some clutch at bats, but for the most part the best thing he does is take pitches for Reyes to run. I find that for being a "heady" player, he does stupid things like swinging at a ball on 2-0 after a walk to the leadoff man and your big guys coming up.

by Art Vandaley on Jun 6, 2006 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions

I do not think he is ideally suited for the two spot. A good #2 hitter does find that easy, period.

by Art Vandaley on Jun 6, 2006 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions

Think Willie would have the cajones to put

Milledge in there? Or let Milledge lead off and let Jose hit 2nd? I wonder how PLD would take it being moved down to 7th or 8th.

by Mr. Met on Jun 6, 2006 11:04 PM EDT up reply actions

not sure

does not seem to be his style, to have two relatively inexpreienced guys batting one and two. Honestly, I think Wright might be best suited due to his ability to go the other way, take pitches, hit with two strikes but still provide pop. Probably more so if we were an American league team than national so he would still get some solid rbi chances [ala Jeter].

by Art Vandaley on Jun 6, 2006 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions

I agree, but I would really like to see D-Dub

in the 3 slot. Just don't see it happening though. 2 would be good for him except that he would miss out on a lot of RBI opps.

I was just kidding

you don't have to care.

It was a great game though. Darling had a no-hitter going into the 8th. Mets had a 3 run lead. Phillies got a single, and Davey Johnson immediately pulls him, for who knows what reason, after which McDowell and Orosco proceeded to blow the game.

I saw Darling in the train station and he was nice enough to sign the foul ball I'd caught earlier, even though it was obvious he was frustrated with the result from the game. He was there with his wife (that red-head model) and a bunch of kids, I interrupted him to get the autograph but he was totally cool about it. I always regretted bothing him after that because who needs a stupid autograph anyway?

Train station in Philly.

The foul ball catch was a surreal moment. I was there punching out an all-star ballot with my dad's keys along the 3rd base line, a few rows back from the tarp, and lefty-hitting Von Hayes just lofted it straight to me. The whole thing was in slow motion. I knew right away it was coming to me.

My dad was sitting to my right and so happened to lean forward right at the moment the ball arrived or it would have hit him in the head. He was totally oblivious to the ball coming. But I just caught it right on the fly, no bobble or anything, and didn't even realize what happened to the keys for quite a while. They ended up like 2 rows away.

Trying to stay out of this so just one comment.

I don't think anyone cares if you love him. You do seem to run the guy down a lot without any real basis, other than you obviously just don't like the guy for whatever reason. He makes more money than you think he should, even though you're not the one signing his check, you call him a wuss when he's injured, etc. etc. It just doesn't seem like a reasonable point of view on your part.

by Mr. Met on Jun 7, 2006 12:00 AM EDT up reply actions

i don't care if you love him

or give him love which isn't the same.

however, when a guy lays himself out to make a catch, injures himself (which is physics, not a personality trait), but stays in the game anyway it isn't about paychecks, it is about the love.

love of game, love of team, love of the fans (even the ones on the internet).

if all you can do is heap scorn on a guy like that then you are a douche.

That

catch is the plus for Carlos playing deep if he is average or shallow that is a double. I hate when balls drop in front of him but his deep positioning enables him to stop extra base hits.

Pedro has been pretty much lights out

and seemingly always pitching with the pressure of little run support. Too bad the Mets couldn't have scored more runs for him early and taken some pressure off. He didn't have it tonight (obviously), but even aces have a bad start now and then. He hasn't given up 6ER since 2004. Maybe Willie should have taken him out after the 2nd HR. (I'm not blaming Willie, just musing.) And of course the injury to Floyd hurt us as did the sloppy defense. I am NOT looking forward to seeing him as Mr. Regret tomorrow.

We'll see tommorow

But Bell may have been worse.

well

if Stache turns that DP on the Wright feed, he probably gets out at 4-2 and the game is different. All those tack on runs that Bell allowed turned out to be huge. Not a good game for the team in general.
